    When typing in the address bar in windows explorer the screen seems to refresh randomly and clears out anything I have typed in there making it impossible to use.

    the strange thing is that when I'm turning off the WIFI radio, the issue disappear.

    please advice.

    Have you gone through your IE add-ons and disabled/deleted the unnecessary entries? The menu is in Internet Options. Use google to search the names of the ones you don't know.

    Another good alternative is to switch to firefox or opera.

    of course.
    full scan with kaspersky, ad-aware, apyware doctor etc....

    this is not a virus, in all lenovo compuers the issue occur when the wifi turn on.

    (X40, X41, X60, x601S)

    please advice.
